Home Networking Task Force (HNTF)

Mission

The HNTF is a subgroup of the Web and TV Interest Group, whose goal is to discuss requirements that specifications would have to follow in order to enable web and other applications to present user interfaces that facilitate access to the services provided on other devices, including the discovery and playback of content available to those devices, both from services such as traditional broadcast media and internet based services but also in the local area IP network.

Basic Information of the Task Force's work

End Date: 31 July 2011 31 August 2011

Confidentiality: Public (F2F & Telcos are Members Only)

Initial Moderator(s): Giuseppe Pascale (Opera)

Meeting Schedule: weekly 1h telcos (Tuesday 14 UTC)

Scope

The goal of the HNTF will be to identify usecases for devices, content and services discovery and control in the local area IP network,
gaps in the existing technologies to address these usecases and requirements that specifications need to address in order to cover such gaps.

Success Criteria

We have succeeded if we can provide a report and a requirement document that can be used by one (or more) WG for technical work on one or more specifications.

The moderator maintains the Task Force page on the public Wiki, with
the help of the Task Force participants if needed.
